Description

Our Gatemaster openers are compact, simple-to-use manual tools for hard-to-open railcar gates.

Through planetary gear reduction in the Gatemaster head, the worker's handle effort is multiplied 18-1/2 times — a considerable mechanical advantage. Maximum torque output of 3,200 lb.-ft. (enough to open almost all gates) can be achieved by only 173 lbs. of handle effort.

  • The same effort on a six-foot pry bar would only produce about 1,000 lb.-ft. of torque.
  • There is no loss of action when using the Gatemaster.
  • The output torque is sustained until the gate opens or the operator releases the torque.

Weight: 30 lbs.
